Return to Windows 3.1

This is kind of a rant but after 20 years I just can't take it anymore.  Windows 10 is horrible.  Windows 7 was terrible.  Windows Vista was Vista.  Windows 95 was overhyped.
 
Since I can't remember how to use DOS my only other course of action is to return to 3.1
 
Will I still be able to run all my plugins?

too many lasers...

I’ve got an installation floppy disk set for NT4 if that helps. No drive to put them in though.

First Windows release that wasn’t dreadful compared to what non-PC computers of that time could do and nearly as good as OS/2 on a PC.

Sonar Platinum 64bit, Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit, I7 3770K Ivybridge, 16GB Ram, Gigabyte Z77-D3H m/board,
ATI 7750 graphics+ 1GB RAM, 2xIntel 520 series 220GB SSDs, 1 TB Samsung F3 + 1 TB WD HDDs, Seasonic fanless 460W psu, RME Fireface UFX, Focusrite Octopre.
Assorted real synths, guitars, mandolins, diatonic accordions, percussion, fx and other stuff.

Your 5-Pin Din plug ins should be fine.

And Windows 2000.




And Win8.
 
 
And XP.
 
 
I liked both of them.
 
 
I agree that win 10 is hateful though. It's like win 7 & 8 got together and had an ugly kid with behavioural problems.
